German photonics manufacturer Innolume has ordered a GEN2000® Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) system from Veeco Instruments Inc. (NASDAQ: VECO) to scale production of gallium arsenide (GaAs)-based quantum dot (QD) lasers. Operating a vertically integrated manufacturing campus in Dortmund, Germany, Innolume is expanding its 6-inch epitaxy and wafer processing capacity to supply QD lasers, comb lasers, distributed feedback (DFB) lasers, and semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs). These devices serve as optical interconnects, co-packaged optics (CPO), and light sources for AI infrastructure, cloud data centers, and silicon photonics. Scaling Epitaxy and Facet Coating for Co-Packaged Optics Quantum dot lasers offer narrower spectral linewidths, lower [...]

Innolume invests in new MBE manufacturing technology from Veeco to expand quantum dot laser production for future optical communication systems.
